Don’t take life too seriously. Punch it in the face when it needs a good hit. Laugh at it.
Luxury is not a necessity to me, but beautiful and good things are.
Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I’m not living.
I don’t like people who have never fallen or stumbled. Their virtue is lifeless and it isn’t of much value. Life hasn’t revealed its beauty to them.
Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this. Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren’t. I’m not surprised some people prefer books.
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed…
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
If you don’t know where you’re going, any road’ll take you there
No matter how careful you are, there’s going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn’t experience it all. There’s that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should’ve been paying attention. Well, get used to that feeling. That’s how your whole life will feel some day. This is all practice.
It is not the length of life, but the depth.
Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun.
I don’t even call them fans. I don’t like that. They’re literally just a part of my life; they’re a part of my family. I don’t think of them as on a lower level than me. I don’t think I’m anything but equal to all of them. So yeah, they’re basically all of my siblings.
Step with care and great tact, and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act.
Attitude determines the altitude of life.
